Release notes for xrdp v0.9.24 (2023/12/30)

• Running xrdp and xrdp-sesman on separate hosts is still supported by this release, but is now deprecated. This is not secure. A future v1.0 release will replace the TCP socket used between these processes with a Unix Domain Socket, and then cross-host running will not be possible.

General announcements

We have created a fund on Open Collective. Support us if you like xrdp!

Direct donations to each developer via GitHub Sponsors are also welcomed.
